Nigerians – nine – were the only graduands from the masters of laws at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.
The Dean of the institution, Ian Holloway, said this in a tweet – which has been widely retweeted – on his handle while celebrating the feat.
“This is cool. We have 9 students graduating with their LLMs today. All are Nigerian! @ProfXtian @NigeriaGov,” he said in the post in which he also tagged the Nigerian Government.
